"MacPorts is the Devil" <http://github.com/maddox/magick-installer>

About a month ago I succeeded in getting rails3 working on a G4
MacMini after upgrading to 10.5.8 from 10.4.?.

There where problems and most of them revolved around MacPorts. I
installed rubygems using MacPorts and dependencies would start looking
for stuff in /usr/local and blow up. I finally just took /opt/local
out of the picture and used /library/ruby for gems and /usr/local for
all other stuff (compile from source on installer using with something
using /usr/local).

While not as bad, I also had problems with RVM - but it might have
just been my usage. The G4 is more or less my productions server and
was running a couple applications I moveed from 2.x (actually one from
1.x) to rails3beta4.

I'll agree with "maddox", MacPorts is the Devil.
